THE  first  Methodist  Church  founded  in  Raleigh,  as  the  result  of  the 
first  ]\rethodist  Conference  held  in  the  city,  was  built  in  1811  on  the 
lot,  corner  Edentou  and  Dawsou  streets,  donated  l>y  Plon.  AViley  Jones. 
Edenton  Street  Sunday  School  was  founded  in  1837,  following  the  suggestion 
of  Rev.  Bennett  T.  Blake,  pastor  of  the  church  at  that  time,  that  the  Union 
Sunday  School  be  divided  into  schools  of  different  denominations.  In  1839 
the  first  church  building  Avas  consumed  by  an  accidental  fire,  and  IS-tl  marks 
the  entrance  into  the  new  church. 

The  erection  of  a  separate  Sunday  School  building  and  the  dedication 
service,  April  10,  1881,  marks  another  period  of  development,  closely  followed 
by  the  building  and  dedication  of  the  present  church  in  1887. 

The  successful  movement  for  a  new  Sunday  School  building  had  birth  in 
a  banquet  given  by  the  women  of  the  circles  to  the  ofiiciai  board  Tuesday 
evening,  February  10,  1909,  at  which  time  a  subscription  was  started  amount- 
ing to  $5,000. 

The  farewell  service  in  the  old  Sunday  School  building  was  held  Sunday 
evening,  May  1,  1910.  On  Monday  following  workmen  began  tearing  it 
away  to  make  room  for  the  erection  of  the  present  building. 

Sunday,  April  28,  1012,  marks  the  entrance  into  the  new  Edenton  Street 
Sunday  School  Building,  the  day  <>f  holies  realized. 

Nathaniel  0.  Blakk,  the  first  superintendent,  was  appointed  in  1827, 
serving  only  a  short  time. 

Rev.  Thos.  J.  Lemay  served  Tuitil  May  19,  1850,  with  the  exception  of 
two  years  filled  by  L.  W.  Peck.

Holy,  holy,  holy.  Lord  God,  Almighty!  Holy,  holy,  holy!  all  the  saints  adore  Thee, 

Early  in  the  morning  our  songs  sliall  rise  to  Thee;  Casting  down  their  golden  crowns  around  the  glassy 

Holy,  lioly,  holy,  merciful  and  mighty,  sea; 

God  in  Three  Persons,  blessed  Trinity!  Cherubim  and  serapliim  falling  down  before  Thee, 

Which  wert,  and  art,  and  evermore  shall  be. 

Holy,  holy,  holy!  tho'  the  darkness  hide  Thee, 
Tho'  the  eye  of  sinful  man  Thy  glory  may  not  see; 
Only  Thou  art  holy!  there  is  none  beside  Thee, 
Perfect  in  pow'r,  in  love,  and  purity. 


Mo.  70—<Bi),  ^raige  tfje  ILovh 


Praise  ye  the  Lord,  all  ye  kingdoms  of  the  world! 
Rise  in  your  might,  let  your  banners  wave  unfurled! 
Praise  ye  the  Lord!  tell  abroad  His  gracious  care. 
Sing  of  His  love,  show  His  glory  ev'rywhere. 


Praise  ye  the  Lord!  all  ye  people  of  His  love! 
Tell  how  He  died  that  we  all  might  dwell  above. 
Praise  ye  the  Lord!  unto  Him  doth  praise  belong. 
Sing  to  His  name,  fill  the  heavens  with  the  song! 


Praise  ye  the  Lord  all  ye  children  of  the  King! 
Join  in  the  choir  that  to  Him  in  rapture  sing. 
Praise  ye  the  Lord!  in  His  honor  ever  stand. 
He  holds  the  world  in  the  hollow  of  His  hand. 


Mo.  190— ^tanb  Wip,  ^tanb  Wip  for  f  cgug 


stand  up,  stand  up  for  Jesus, 

Ye  soldiers  of  the  cross; 
Lift  high  His  royal  banner, 

It  must  not  suffer  loss; 
From  victory  unto  victory 

His  army  shall  He  lead. 
Till  every  foe  is  vanquished 

And  Christ  is  Lord  indeed. 


Stand  up,  stand  up  for  Jesus, 

The  trumpet  call  obey; 
Forth  to  the  mighty  conflict. 

In  this  His  glorious  day: 
Ye  that  are  men,  now  serve  Him, 

Against  unnumbered  foes: 
Your  courage  rise  with  danger, 

And  strength  to  strength  oppose. 


Stand  up,  stand  up  for  Jesus, 

Stand  in  His  strength  alone; 
The  arm  of  flesh  will  fail  you; 

Ye  dare  not  trust  your  own: 
Put  on  the  gospel  armor. 

Each  piece  put  on  with  prayer; 
Where  duty  calls,  or  danger. 

Be  never  wanting  there. 


Mo.  196— ail  ^aii  tf)e  ^otorr  of  Jesus'  ^ame 

All  hail  the  power  of  Jesus'  name!  Crown  Him,  ye  martyrs  of  your  God, 
Let  angels  prostrate  fall;  Who  from  His  altar  call; 

Bring  forth  the  royal  diadem.  Extol  the  stem  of  Jesse's  rod. 
And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all!  And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all! 

Ye  seed  of  Israel's  chosen  race. 

Ye  ransomed  of  the  fall. 
Hail  Him  who  saves  you  by  His  grace. 

And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all! 


Mo.  39— iLorb,  Bismiss  Wii 

Lord,  dismiss  us  with  Thy  blessing. 
Fill  our  hearts  with  joy  and  peace; 

Let  us  each  Thy  love  possessing. 
Triumph  in  redeeming  grace; 

O  refresh  us,  O  refresh  us. 

Traveling  through  this  wilderness. 

Amen.

For  our  use  Thy  folds  prepare. 
Blessed  .Jesus!  Blessed  Jesus! 

Thou  hast  bought  us.  Thine  we  are; 
Blessed  Jesus!  Blessed  Jesus! 

Thou  hast  bought  us.  Thine  we  are.

Seek  us  when  we  go  astray.

From  all  that  dwell  below  the  skies, 
Let  the  Creator's  praise  arise; 
Let  the  Redeemer's  name  be  sung 
Through  every  land,  by  every  tongue. 


Eternal  are  Thy  mercies.  Lord; 
Eternal  truth  attends  Thy  word; 
Thy  praise  shall  sound  from  shore  to  shore 
Till  suns  shall  rise  and  set  no  more.

Glorious  things  of  thee  are  spoken, 

Zion,  city  of  our  God; 
He,  whose  word  can  ne'er  be  broken, 

Form'd  thee  for  His  own  abode: 
On  the  Rock  of  Ages  founded, 

What  can  shake  thy  sure  repose? 
With  salvation's  walls  surrounded. 

Thou  may'st  smile  at  all  thy  foes. 


See!  the  streams  of  living  waters. 

Springing  from  eternal  love. 
Well  supply  thy  sons  and  daughters, 

And  all  fear  of  want  remove: 
Who  can  faint  while  such  a  river 

Ever  flows  our  thirst  t'  assuage? 
Grace  which,  like  the  Lord,  the  giver, 

Never  fails  from  age  to  age. 


Round  each  habitation  hov'ring, 

See  the  cloud  and  flre  appear. 
For  a  glory  and  a  cov'ring — 

Showing  that  the  Lord  is  near: 
Glorious  things  of  thee  are  spoken, 

Zion,  city  of  our  God; 
He,  whose  word  can  ne'er  be  broken, 

Formed  thee  for  His  own  abode. 

Mo.  192—3  iLobe  tEfjp  mrngbom 


I  love  Thy  kingdom,  Lord, 

The  house  of  Thine  abode. 
The  church  our  bless'd  Redeemer  bought 

With  His  own  precious  blood. 

I  love  Thy  church,  O  God! 

Her  walls  before  Thee  stand, 
Doar  as  the  apple  of  Thine  eye. 

And  graven  on  Thy  hand. 


For  her  my  tears  shall  fall. 
For  her  my  prayers  ascend; 

To  her  my  cares  and  toils  be  given. 
Till  toils  and  cares  shall  end. 

Beyond  my  highest  joy 

I  prize  her  heavenly  ways. 

Her  sweet  communion,  solemn  vows, 
Her  hymns  of  love  and  praise.
